Next, the program requests information it needs to perform the
type of testing you selected.
Timebound Testing
If you selected 'Timebound testing, you see this prompt:
Period :001 hr 00
Specify the amount of time you want to run the selected test(s).
Type the number of hours, from 000 to 999, and press Enter.
Then type the number of minutes, from 00 to 59, and press
Enter. You can use the backspace key (t) to edit your input.
Continuous Testing
If you selected Continuous testing, the diagnostics program
needs no additional information. After you specify whether to
create the error log, the program returns to the main menu. You
see this message in the Run Time Parameters window:
Test Mode: Continuous
Passbound Testing
If you selected Passbound testing, you see this prompt:
No. of Passes : 00001
Specify the number of times (from 1 to 65535) you want the
program to run the test(s). Or press Enter without entering a
number to select the default of one pass. You can use the
backspace key to edit your input.
Running a test multiple times provides reliability testing of
essential functions only. In most cases, running a test once is
sufficient.
